Record snakehead
A snakehead fish worthy of a world record may have been pulled from the Potomac River.
At four feet long and weighing 18.37 pounds, Juan Duran may have set the new world record for the largest snakehead ever caught.
The current record stands at 17.4 pounds and that fish was caught in Japan, where snakehead fish belong.
They're considered a predatory and undesirable exotic species by the Commonwealth of Virginia. The species is blamed for the vanishing populations of Potomac River shad, bass and even frogs.
